John and Pitt,

Good points. I'm finding the fish getting jaded on certain patterns on some of the heavily fished waters I go to around here, I'm talking only dry flies, and I'm just talking about my observations; folks better than me (and that includes just about everybody) may have a different take. On one stream in particular, I can't remember the last time I had a real good day (and I did have a few) using an Elk Hair Caddis; it continues to fish well for me using other caddis patterns but not with the EHC; same goes for a Royal Wulff, although that could be because I can't tie them worth a darn.

Regards,
Scott
